What washing liquid/powder do you use?

I couldn't get it right when washing DS nappies, but this time i dont wanna have to keep doing strip washes etc.

Where i live its quite harsh water..

Give me your tips.

Thanks

You could always just use bi carb?
I did strip wash probably every 3 - 4 weeks & after anything like thrush or gastro to make sure they were extra clean.
Direct sunlight & I've also heard of putting some lemon oil on any stains? Never tried it though.

Oh i shall try the Bi Carb, since we got bulk of that here lol.

Im not using cloth untill this lil girl comes as DS is TT now.

I always put DS in direct sunlight.. never got stains or tried the lemon oil tho.

WE use the earth's choice liquid, but we use less that recommended and add bi-carb and vinegar. If we have a germy load I add tea tree oil to it

I haven't strip washed my nappies so far, we only use the eco store for front loaders for our MCN and the terry flats, its does a good enough job and we have hard water here.

FWIW I use a top loader for her clothes wraps, linen etc and use combo softly and omo with just a little bit of lux soap flakes dissolved to help soften the water
